Method
Form a loop in the
heavier rope and hold it
secure in the left hand
while introducing the
lighter rope into the
loop with the right hand
(1 ). Bring the end of
the lighter rope around
and behind the loop of
the heavierrope (2);
then pass the end under
its own standing part
(3). Pull the standing
parts of both ropes
sideways to tighten the
knot (4).

SLIPPED
SHEET BEND

The slipped knot is
easier to untie when the
rope is under heavy
strain. The knot is
slipped by inserting a
bight between the loop
on the heavier rope and
the standing part of the
lighter rope (5).
6
DOUBLE
OR TRIPLE
SHEET BEND

DOUbling the knot
makes it more secure. It
is done by making two
or more turns around
the heavier rope with
the lighter rope (6).
